The Department of Labor's final overtime exemption rule took effect on January 1, 2020. Under it, many positions employers had treated as exempt from overtime lose that status unless the employee's salary meets or exceeds the new salary threshold, which increases the number of employees eligible for overtime pay.
This 75-minute webinar explains which jobs and employers the rule targets, how it differs from the earlier Obama-era proposal on white-collar exemptions and the salary basis, and how it treats highly compensated employees. You'll learn how bonuses count toward the salary threshold, how often the DOL expects to update the salary level, how it handles automatic updates, and how reclassification may affect employees who were exempt.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Penalties for breaking the FLSA's overtime rules can be severe, and non-compliant employers may face a DOL audit, a lawsuit or an administrative charge. This session gives you practical steps to comply, limit increases in overtime costs and avoid drawing DOL attention.
It suits payroll and HR professionals, managers, compliance officers, audit and budget staff, attorneys and controllers.
